When I first began working, everyone used to watch their Quotrons very closely on Thursday afternoons at 4:30.  That was when the key data point was released \u2013 the weekly money supply data.  Thanks to Paul Volcker, Milton Friedman, and a whole bunch of other prominent figures, monetarism was a key focus of academics and investors alike.  Several decades later, although many of us look for the Federal Reserve weekly H.4.1 reports, which detail the size and composition of the Fed\u2019s balance sheets, few of us pay much attention to the (now monthly) money supply reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic premise of monetarist theory is this equation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

               MV=PQ<\/p>\n\n\n\n

               M = Money Supply<\/p>\n\n\n\n

               V = Velocity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

               P = Price Level<\/p>\n\n\n\n

               Q = Quantity of Goods Produced<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is of course an oversimplification, but it became an easy way for people to understand the root of the price pressures that the economy was withstanding at the time.  On the surface, it is easy to visualize that if the quantity of goods that an economy can produce, and the velocity of money (the number of times a dollar changes hands, for example) are relatively fixed or difficult to change in a short period of time, then an increase in money supply should lead to higher prices.  Since inflation means that more currency is required to buy some amount of goods or services, it stands to reason that if we have more money in circulation then we will see higher prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can see that money supply rose slowly in the 1960\u2019s, more quickly in the 1970\u2019s and 1980\u2019s, stalled a bit in the \u201890s, then generally rose exponentially, with a huge jump in the covid-era. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But look at the current period \u2013 it\u2019s flat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One could certainly make the case that the accelerated growth in the money supply played a key role in boosting asset prices in the years that followed 2008\u2019s global financial crisis.  But why didn\u2019t it cause much inflation?  During that period, the velocity of money came under pressure.  It had typically been a relative constant when monetarism was in vogue.  That number is generally a plug-in anyway, derived from the other three variables in the equation since it is essentially impossible to measure.  That means that other factors outside the simple equation — like globalization — played a key role in reducing price pressures until the covid shock.  That is one reason that monetarism fell out of favor.  It wasn\u2019t doing a great job in explaining the relationship between money supply and inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, even though we had a twelve year span when prices in the economy were stable, the fact that equities and other assets appreciated steadily implied that whatever inflation was out there was actually being felt on Wall Street, not Main Street.  And that was a very good thing for investors.  But if rising money supply helped boost asset markets, how do we account for the recent decline and current stagnation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, the decline in money supply during 2022 coincided with a sharp decline in stock prices.  Few investors want to see a re-run of that period.  Since then, stocks have recovered and thrived.  It could of course be the case that the relatively elevated level of M2 is sufficient to enable asset prices to rise \u2013 as long as the supply stays stable and doesn\u2019t resume its fall.  That\u2019s what we have to hope for.  If not, then Mr. M2 will again matter in an unpleasant manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
